just to Give You an Idea.

The population of Brookhaven, with
the increase since the last census, is
estimated at two thousand. Now Just
to give our readers an idea of the fear
full death rate of the Penitentiary con
victs, under the present leasing system,
let us imagine that eleven out of every
one hundred of these two Thousand
inhabitants of Brookhaven should die
in one year, or that there should be
total death rate here in twelve
months of 22O people, which is the
same thing-200 of the inhabitants of
this little city, of various ages,
laid away in the cold grave in one
year, and their friends and relatives
called to look for the last time upon
their cold marble faces-220 new made
mounds in our little cemetary in the
short space of twelve months. Think
of it! Would it not bring consterna-
ton and excite the fear of our own
people and those of the entire State,
and cause remedy to be quickly and
earnestly sought Yet, gentle reader,
little as you may think of it, that is
the way the Mississippi convicts are
dying, the men who are not
sentenced to cruel and miserable
death, but merely to be imprisoned
for their crimes. Yes, the latest Off
cial reports attainable show that ev-
cry year under our present barbarOus
leasing system, there is an average of
eleven out of every one hundred con-
victs killed, driven to death by cruel
bosses, die of exposure in the camps,
or of neglect in the miserable places
called hospitals.
Verify, in the language of the Kinds
county grand jury, "God wW not
smile upon a State that treats her
conricts as Mississippi does"

Senator Guice.

Hon. Geo. A. Guice was born and
raised in this county, ON a farm; and
is yet extensively engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits.
He comes from an old sterling fami-
ly, of German extraction. Mr.. Guice
is fine representative of the Democ-
racy of South Mississippi, is lawyer
of no mean ability, is thoroughly con-
versant with the interests of the labor
ing and farming classes, is a ready
and fluent debater, and will take
prominent rank in the next Senate

Major Magruder and the Speak
ership Again.

our esteemed cotemporary, the
vicksburg Post, comes to the defense
of Major Magruder's candidacy forthe
Speakership, and says the Leaders
article of two weeks ago does that
gentleman great injustice. The Post
denies that Major Magruder is in un-
due sympathy with our extravagant
State Administration, and cites the
fact that he introduced and got
through the House at the last session
n Constitutional amendment making
q governor ineligible for a second
term; that he is not friend of the in
famous leasing system, and lacked on
ly one vote of being unanimously
nominated for the Legislature by a
convention that unanimously declar-
ed against any system of employment
of convicts unless under the control
and management of officers and agents
of the State; and finally that it does
not think the fact that Major Magru-
der is defending Hamilton in a muir
der case will have any influence with
him in appointing committees for the
adjustment of the old lease.
We have the highest opinion of the
honesty and patriotic intentions ofthe
Post, and regard its championship of
any candidate one the highest possible
compliments to the man it supports.
And we will add with equal frankness
that another fact mentioned by the
Post is no less compliment to Major
Magruder-the fact that he was bit
terly opposed for the nomination by
the editor of the Vicksburg Herald, a
paper that is an inceasing champion
of the present leasing system, the
Lowry Administration and Hamilton
innocent or guilty. and whose support
of any candidate is sufficient to damn
him with suspicion.

A Damper on the jug Trade. -

District Attorney Miller enjoined
the Southern Express Company at
YazoO City last Monday against de-
livering whisky in jugs addressed to
no particular person, but only desig-
mated by numbers. 1t is alleged by
him that the express company is thus
lending itself as an agent of certain
saloon men outside of YazOo county to
violate the local option law. About
200 Christmas jugs will be tied up by
the injunction until next March, and
the proceedings has created quite a
sensation among the lovers of egg
nOgg and tn e saloon men.

Unnatural Politics.

The Sioux City Sun says: "The
present state of American politics is
too unnatural to last. The two great
parties represent no particular prin-
eiple. If a man tells you he is a Re-
publican, you don't know whether he
is trader or a high protectiOnist,
a monopolist, Prohibitionist or anti
PrOhibitionist. If he tells you he is
Democrat, you are still in the dark
concerning his view of every pivotal
question of public policy"
Therefore, the Sun says that the
present state of politics is too unnatu-
raj to last. There is bound to be a
change. There be radical differences
of opinion on certain prime-questions
of government that are bound to reach
the fore and divide the people.

We to-day publish an interesting
comparison of the Stone and Lowry
Administrations by correspondent of
the Memphis Avalanche. When Ed.
Wilson, of the New Mississippian,
wrote the editorial which this cor
respondent quotes, his paper stood al
most alone in it's opposition TO a
second term of LOwryism, but time
has fully demonstrated how wise it
would have been for the people to
have needed his warnings, and many
who then opposed him and "tit
nObly" for "Dear Bob" now see their
folly and "repent at leisure"
